AL\ALProject1\./.alpackages could not be found

Hello community, recently I started messing with the AL extension language, in order to create new fields that I can use in the ERP of Dynamics Business Central.
I started out wanting to do this simple exercise: docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-get-started
But when I run it, I get an error: AL\ALProject1\./.alpackages could not be found. I already investigated how to solve it but I still can't fix the error.
I don't know if you can guide me, since I would like to start getting more into AL. Also, if any permission is taken from the platform itself, I would like you to tell me about it.
First of all, Thanks.

    Hi,

    Please check launch.json & app.json file for resolving the error.

    Usually the cause of a problem like this is because your launch.json file is not pointing to a valid Business Central enviornment.

    So i would suggest you start by checking your launch.json file.

    There are different settings in the file depending on where you environment is running. So make sure you configure the system for the correct environment type.
